Former Army Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha is shown on a mission in Afghanistan in 2009. At Combat Outpost Keating on Oct. 3, 2009, Romesha's actions helped repel a massive enemy assault. An estimated 300 to 400 Taliban fighters attacked the post held by Romesha and his fellow soldiers. Wounded in the neck, arm and shoulder, Romesha continually exposed himself to enemy fire, and his courage, decisiveness and calm inspired his soldiers to keep fighting. (AFP/Getty Images)
